The Eye and Tower of London

Today we had booked our tickets for the London Eye. We got there half an hour early because we had heard of the famously long queues for the Eye. We waited in the pre booked line and that was still fairly long. Once on the Eye it isn't much of a thrill ride as it moves at 1 mile an hour but once you reach the top it is one hell of a view, on a clear day you could see up to 30 miles away.




After our river cruise to Greenwich (see Mark's on the ball) we used the London pass to get in to the Tower of London. We got in and saw the Yeoman guards taking tours so we followed that around and learnt about the tower and about theYeoman guards and what they do. Did you know that the Yeoman guards actually live inside the tower with their families.



At the end of the tour we were able to see the previous and present crown jewels as well as the worlds largest armor found standing at over 2 meters tall.

The tower is a defiant must do if you ever come to London because the tours are great and the exhibitions are nearly as good. The Eye how ever isn't a must do but I recommend it if you want to truly say you have been to London.
